Wind blows roof of Anderson County day care; Jessamine County also suffers storm damage

Heavy winds in Thursday's storms caused damage in both Anderson and Jessamine counties.

A storm blew off a roof of an Anderson County day care center, Abundant Life Christian Learning Tree House, and flipped over two FedEx trailers at nearby Florida Tile, according to The Anderson News. No injuries were reported, but there were a few close calls.

Tommy Wise of Lawrenceburg told The Anderson News that he used a car to shield his grandson and himself from debris coming from the day care center's roof.

"I no sooner picked him up out of his car seat when the sheet metal started coming off the roof," Wise said. "I was scared to death. I had no idea what was going on."
